After back-to-back losses and only two wins out of its last five games, the Kentucky men’s basketball team fell out of the latest Associated Press Top 25 Poll released Monday.

This week marks the first time Kentucky has dropped out of the AP Poll since the 2013-14 season. That year, UK went 12-6 in the SEC and lost the last game of the regular season to Florida as the nation’s No. 25 team. The Aaron and Andrew Harrison twins-led squad recovered in the postseason, however, going on an improbable run all the way to the NCAA championship game, which it lost to Connecticut.

Ranked No. 18 last week after being ranked as high as No. 5 in the preseason, Kentucky suffered a collapse on the road after leading by as many as 14 points at South Carolina on Tuesday and saw its rally from down eight points late at home against Florida fall short in a 66-64 loss on Saturday.

The loss Saturday snapped a streak of 30 consecutive SEC home wins and the drop from the rankings ended a 68-consecutive week streak.

Villanova maintained its hold on No. 1. The top three of Villanova, Virginia and Purdue remained the same in the poll, with Villanova staying at No. 1 for the third straight week. Duke inched up a spot to No. 4, while Kansas jumped five spots to No. 5 after winning at West Virginia.
